speaking of horses....i did the coolest thing today. so for my classes i have to get volunteer hours with a therapeutic recreation place. so my lovely friend drew and i decided we wanted to go help out at a horse place called "hoofbeats to healing". its like a therapeutic equestrian program. kids with emotional trauma or disabilities go and learn how to ride horses. uh coolest thing ever? yeah. so i went today and it was so crazy. running through mud manure, wrangling up horses, shoveling horse manure, watering the horses, brushing the horses, walking the horses around, etc. it was awesome. one thing i learned is that you dont feed a horse like how im feeding it in the pictures above. you make an open hand. seems so obvious now. HA. its really awesome though. the horses are super in tune with the rider and how they feel. basically if you feel something, so does the horse. anywho....super cool right?
THAT IS SOOOOO awesome! that would be such a fun place to volunteer! I wish we had something like that here, and i had an awesome friend to do it with!
